[Ids-devel] IDS 0.6a8 now available

[John M. <mo...@mu...>]

Hi.

IDS 0.6a8 is now available:
http://arwen.hn.org/~john/

New in this release:
- I abstracted the sort functionality, which makes it really easy to add new
sort methods. Users can now sort by name, date, size, or "intelligent sort"
(Randy's sort function). The sort method is now invoked properly for the
previous and next image links on the image pages. The user's preferred sort
method is saved in a cookie. The site's admin can set a default sort method
in the prefs.

- I moved the preferences-editing functions out of the admin CGI and into
their own CGI. At the same time, I divided the prefs page into 4 categories:
site, album, image, and comments.

- I fixed a bug that caused a custom album icon to be overwritten whenever
the album was viewed with the admin CGI.

- The site's admin can disable the display of EXIF tags or embedded JPEG
comments on image pages. This can save time, preventing a load of
Image::Magick and/or Image::Info.

I look forward to your comments.

Is anyone else working on something they'd like to have included in the 0.6
release? I'm planning on finishing up in the next couple of weeks.

John
